The first three months after childbirth, the “fourth trimester”, can be an especially vulnerable period for new mothers, says Dr. Rizwana Fareeduddin, executive medical director for AdventHealth for Women. Postpartum care isn’t just about physical recovery.

In this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast, Dr. Fareeduddin joins Rolonda Winsley, a former patient of AdventHealth's Fourth Trimester program whose healing journey inspired her to return as a care coordinator for new moms.

Tune in to hear about:

· Preventing maternal complications, mortality and depression

· Winsley’s journey as a new mother, including her preeclampsia diagnosis

· The importance of caring for new mothers, especially those with high blood pressure or other pregnancy-related health issues

· How AdventHealth’s Fourth Trimester program provides essential support during the postpartum period
